Of possible interest.
I like it. And the best part is that maybe, just maybe if this Tea Party mood holds for two more years, we can get a President and Congress that would go along with it.

Jim is running for reelection this November. If you like his philosophy, consider tossing him some bucks.
Spinning off non-profitable subsidiaries. :>)
Yes, it’s of interest.
Loping off about 90% of the departments and government workers is the goal.
BTT
It does remind be of a story though. I had a discussion with an old farmer once about the cattle industry coming back to Iowa. I forget what was going on but it looked like an opportunity at the time for it to begin to happen. This was one of those sharp old farmers who had spent a lifetime in the cattle yard. He could walk out there and sense when something was not right and then begin to correct the problem. He OWNED those cattle so was very subject to risk and reward.
He looked at me when I proposed that and then said. “But who knows how to raise cattle in Iowa anymore?” And he was right!
The point I am making is that states don't know how to OWN the power anymore. There will be a huge learning curve with many mistakes on the state/local level. Will we as conservatives allow them to learn or cut them off at the knees when they don't do it perfectly? I guess for me, knowing what the touch stone is will be important. What do they test every decision against? Applies to us for that matter also. For me, this is why getting rid of RINOS is important. Doesn't matter if you win if the touch stone is wrong. We have a GOP platform yet no one discusses it...................
